Side note – the title for Snoop Dogg’s hit, ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ came from a line in this song. These four highlights - 'Ha,' 'Back That Azz Up,' and the 'Ha' remixes - break up the album, somewhat. Moreover, two remixes of 'Ha' come late on the album, one with the Hot Boys, the other with Jay-Z. They're absolutely two of the best songs to come out of the late-'90s Dirty South boom. The album sold platinum, but at the time, Wayne still played third fiddle to. These two songs alone make 400 Degreez noteworthy. To be honest, I doubt I’d have enjoyed the album any more had it not been censored, but this is not the way to listen to a record. Juvey the Great - Released in 98, Juveniles 400 Degreez kicked off. The main hook in the massive hit single goes “Back that zza up, back that zza up.” It’s distracting and stupid. But overall, the thing that bothered me most about this album, was that for some reason, the version that is on Spotify is censored and for a hip hop record, or any record for that matter, it’s ridiculous. I found that the beat was pretty monotonous & uninventive and I didn’t connect with any of the rhymes. Remember on my The Pharcyde review when I said that growing up hip hop “wasn’t my genre of choice”? It’s because of albums that sound like this. Featuring the singles, ‘Ha’ and ‘Back That Azz Up,’ the album is 4x Platinum in the US and remains the highest selling album on Cash Money records. ‘400 Degreez’ is the third album for New Orleans rapper, Juvenile.
